I would love to own an acreage with this many hogs

Sorry I don't share the fun aspect of them anymore. I firmly believe they should have prosecuted the folks who transported them and turned them loose, for introducing a non native species to the habitat.

Bingo!!!

Some folks here in OK trap wild hogs and relocate them or sell them to the hog hunting "ranches". A 250-300 pound boar hog brings $250-400. know folks who have turned in a couple of of the hog sellers and buyers but the state of OK does nothing.

Like an idiot i attracted wild hogs to one of our farms. Most of the place is not fit for anything except pasture and i don't do cattle. It had been a deer haven until i messed with mother nature. Now the deer are scarce and i'm driving 130 miles every other day to check the hog traps.

When there are hogs in the traps, i have to kill, field dress and skin the suckers because it is hard to give away a dirty smelly hog. Field dressing and skinning three or four wild hogs in morning temperatures that hover around 20 degrees will quickly peg the fun meter.

Everybody wants one, until you call and tell them to come pick it up, it's just been field dressed. We fed over a 150 of them to the Buzzards and Coyotes off a friends wheat field in one growing season.
 
+1 hogs suck, they destroy everything, as do border rats (not intended as a racist comment, simply illegals)
 
agree with you snakeman, I went to feed round bales before the big freeze a couple of days ago and I drove up on at least 50 in my hay patch....my mini 14 took 2 down on the spot at least 2 more took off squealing to die in the brush. (by the way your next post number will be the evil #, you're on 665 now). lots of people on hunting/shooting sites want to come out and "help" just too much liability nowadays.
 
I'd be scared to let my pitbully anywhere near that... She'd get herself into some deep doo doo lol.
 
Around here, anytime a hog is sighted, black ops helicopters with invisible blades and silent engines go out and kill every dang one of them. At least that's what I've heard...Personally, I think it may be the aliens. Either way, there's not many left when those whirley birds disappear in the middle of the night, or around mid day, or, well, just pretty much anytime. .... OK, that was an honest to God conversation I had with a farmer a few years ago. ... "then, the damn gubberment would trade wyoming or montana turkeys for antelopes, and I don't want those damn prarie rats on my winter wheat, they spread bind weed like wind fire. Hell, I know what's going on, I saw them back up those black trucks up to my fence last Sunday, when they thought I was at church, and kick off about near 100 of them racin'rats". You boys can shoot em all, and leave em lay.

Bless his heart, he's gone now. I do have to say that I really enjoyed those conversations over a burned up chicken fried steak his wife always made us. Plus, he always had a cold beer or two to share. Obviously. Breakfast or Lunch, really didn't matter to him. Personally, I think it was some kind of CIA deal to rid the world of shape shifters of some kind. Just sayin'
 
i would like to hunt there but i sure wouldnt want that many on my land! that all you would have, no deer turkey or anything else!
 
Much like prairie dogs, just because they make good target practice DOES NOT make them desirable to have on your property!! A "target rich environment" means the population is obviously too high!!! That being said, hog hunting does sound like fun, though i'm not the least bit jealous we don't have any opportunity here in South Dakota to hunt them!!

In February i caught 37 hogs at that old farm. My cameras at the feeders show that the hog population has not been significantly reduced. Full speed ahead.
 
I would get some buddies together with AR 10s or AKs or something and all let loose at once. The property damage would pretty much only be bad if you were growing crops.
 
I work as a forester in FL... On one tract of land down here, 173,000 tree seedlings were planted, and the hogs went along behind the tree planter not long after stand establishment and devoured them... one by one. Agriculutural row crops can be destroyed in a hurry.

The Rule down here is to shoot them whenever and whereever you see them... They are very proliferic, and one sow can have a litter of a dozen, twice a year. the popeulation can increase exponentially ,a s evidenced by the video
 
Having dealt with my fair share of coyotes prairie dogs and the like, I understand population control and sometimes shooting things just to kill them. IS that what most people do with hogs? Shoot them and let them lay? Or are they usually butchered? I mean no offense with this question, as I've heard it both ways. I myself wouldn't be offended if the critters stayed where they were dropped(assuming private land and owner's permission to do so). In the areas of overpopulation, are there any regs, or is it "kill as many as you can by whatever (legal) means possible?"
 
I personally would love to shoot as many as I could, but I'd prefer to leave 'em lay and turn into fertilizer and coyote bait. I have no desire to eat wild hog, pork from the grocery store is fine with me. Eh, maybe a small one or two.

Wow, I just watched that video! That would take an airstrike with multiple cluster bombs to clear out that herd.
